Transport:
INTECH is just 3 miles outside of Winchester city centre which makes travelling to the centre very convenient! There are buses from Winchester city centre (no.64) or if you’re travelling by bike, it is only a 30 minute ride on a straight but hilly road! If you decide to travel by foot, it will take approximately 45 minutes to walk to INTECH from the city centre but there is no pavement on the road so be careful of fast moving cars. There are TAXI’s available from the city centre and will cost £8 for a single journey.
There is a free car park for those who want to travel by car, however, the car park does get full very quickly so we advise visitors to get here early or just after 2.00pm.
